Professor Kilmer you should give a course on how to interpret the data on scan tools. Such as Lambda or how to diagnose a worn timing belt or more involved items on these scan tools. Knowledge is power. Thanks for all the great videos.

The Canadian blue tooth model works very well. I have used it on several vehicles and it gives good accurate data. I bought it on Scotty's recommendation just over a year ago. Thanks Scotty.

I have the Blue Driver for a couple of years now and I use it on my Scion TC, FR-S and a Ford Expedition. Is awesome!!!!

[lucatintor]

Wise and humble man the success is well deserved

Bought one today!!! Cleared an engine light that has been lit almost since I bought my 2005 Silverado. My mechanic couldn't isolate a problem and told me to just ignore it. I've been doing that for 18 years! Now --- it's gone! That alone was worth the low price of the scanner.

Pro tip: If you have a kid away in college (or anywhere) buy a scan tool, put it in a ziplock bag and leave it in the car they are using. I bought ANDEL AD200 for around $20 BUT for some reason it does not reset codes so I wish I bought the ANDEL AD410 ($35). One can also stop at the box stores and get a free scan too. Good luck and here is hoping you do't get the call I did that the light is on.

Recently got a cheap scan tool for $25 gave me a code and fixed it myself. I’m no mechanic. Giddy yaps. Thanks for the videos.

All these scan tools available on the market are great for DIYers, but sadly this has also led to an increase in auto theft. For criminals in the know, it's super easy to steal a car nowadays that have a push button start. If they can gain access to the vehicle and have a blank fob and mid level scan tool, they can program the fob to start the car in a couple minutes. Sometimes older tech can be better.

Scottie, I bought the bluedriver scanner & got a good price $79 I'm able to check codes and reset them for FREE :) Well worth the price... I would not pay more that that for it. If I paid out that much I'd go for one of the hand held ones you reviwed.

[gregblackburn]

Just now ordered one. Thanks again Scotty.

Scotty,

like you need to know....

You are on the right track with this video.

Really.

[Dakiraun]

Super-useful video; this is a great one to show folks who have never seen or used these tools before. It's incredible how much info they can provide - even the cheaper ones if you find the right one.

[sniggitty]

I have the autel maxisys. paid about $2k. I'm not a mechanic but i am a data driven techy. love it.

[dannyantle]

Another thing that you need to factor in is whether or not the scan tool offers free updates. Most of the really good scan tools charge for updates.

[jimschmidt]

Thank you for a no-nonsense review. The other videos are obviously just commercials...

[MotocaribeDR]

I've had the Blue Driver for four years. Works great!

[drwhodrwho]

I have a Codekey OBD II scan tool that I purchased at Costco many years ago for under $40. It has paid for itself many times over. I keep it in the trunk of one of my cars.
It is time to purchase a more-capable model. Thank you for the reviews of some low-cost alternatives!

The dog's scared because it's like "why's this guy always yelling and throwing his hands around" 🤣

[streetfighter.youtube]

I purchased an Autel midgrade unit which was advised by Scotty and it works great for D.I.Y..
